Love Unspoken

Meanwhile, Quinn was at a slightly higher vantage point, where she could clearly see Alexander and his crew coming.

She glanced at Walter, who was busy putting together a sniper rifle. She gripped the tree trunk, her mind in turmoil. Sweat poured down her forehead. "Are you really going to do this?" she asked.

Walter didn't look up, just kept working on the rifle. The sound of it made Quinn even more nervous.

She crouched down and grabbed his arm. "Walter, he's got a lot of people with him. Even if you kill him, we won't get away. Don't be impulsive, okay?" Walter touched her cheek and gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry."

Quinn frowned. She thought, 'How can I not worry? You are planning to kill Alexander.'

'Even if you pulls it off, we're screwed.'

Walter nodded towards the scene. "Look."

Quinn turned and saw people rising from the grass behind Alexander. They were camouflaged and nearly invisible until they stood up.

Once they stood up, they started shooting at Alexander's group.

With several gunshots, the bodyguards at the back were hit.

"Mr. Kennedy, watch out!"

Sean reacted first, tackling Alexander to the ground.

The others quickly dropped and returned fire.

Their quick response caught the attackers off guard, and some were shot down. The rest ducked back into the grass, moving around.

"See? Alexander's ready. His men are armed," Walter said calmly.

Quinn watched in disbelief. She never thought she'd see something like this.

As Walter's men dodged bullets, Sean's group got a chance to fight back, leading to a standoff.

Sean glanced at the sky. It wasn't the right time to move. The attackers had the advantage of camouflage, so any movement would be risky.

They had to wait until nightfall when the attackers would lose their edge.

"Move!" Alexander tried to push Sean away, but Sean held him down.

"Mr. Kennedy, don't be rash! These guys are prepared. You'll get killed out there."

Sean knew Alexander was furious, so he didn't let him go.

Alexander sneered, "Doesn't she want revenge? I'll give her the chance."

He pushed Sean away and stood up.

Sean quickly got up and positioned himself behind Alexander.

Gunfire erupted. Sean took a bullet to the chest.

Sean clutched his chest, blood seeping through his fingers. "Mr. Kennedy, be careful," he said with difficulty.

Then he collapsed.

Alexander reached out. "Sean?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

But Sean's hand went limp and the bullet hole in his chest was clear. He could no longer respond.

Kyle crawled over. When he saw Sean in such a state, his face changed dramatically.

"Mr. Kennedy, is Sean okay?" Kyle asked.

Alexander's face grew darker and he was surrounded by a chilling aura.

He took Sean's gun, handed Sean to Kyle, and walked deeper into the mountain.

Kyle looked at Sean, then at Alexander. He gritted his teeth and pressed his hand against Sean's bleeding chest.
